Following a successful first Neasden Festival last year, this weekend we have our second Neasden Festival this Saturday. It will be a street party with lots of family activities and entertainment for all to enjoy.

There are events all around the Country this weekend in celebration of Jo Cox’s belief that we have more in common in society. We have a local event at Gladstone Park this Sunday packed with activities for all to enjoy. Do come along between 12.30pm and 4.30pm

A Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) is now live in Neasden. The Government’s street drinking laws were time limited and have now expired so the Council has implemented it’s own PSPO in partnership with the Police to clamp down on street drinking.

The purpose of the PSPO is to help tackle and address the issues of street drinking which is taking place within the Neasden Shopping Centre area.

New signs are proposed at three locations in Dudden Hill Ward that have been identified as accident hotspots. The signs will be on Dudden Hill Lane and Neasden Lane.

The signs will aim to slow down traffic and also encourage people to be more aware of motorbikes. Accidents involving mopeds and motorbikes have caused us concern and residents have been talking to us about their concerns and the lack of signage.

Labour Councillors have been successful in making the case and the signs are expected to be in place before summer.

Thursday 16th June, Gladstone Park Tree Walk, Gladstone Park Wildlife Group, 6.30pm

The Prisoner of War Memorial by Fred Kormis in Gladstone Park has has been listed as Grade II by Historic England. The piece explores the themes of freedom, captivity, showing five male figures in different stages of emotion and turmoil.

The sculpture can be found close to the Dollis Hill Lane entrance closest to the car park.

Following the issues that have been reported by residents about rough sleeping at Gladstone Park, a lot of work is underway between the Council, Ashford Place and the Police. In September, a number of people were found sleeping in tents in Gladstone Park during the night-time inspections. All were given the Park byelaws translated into Romanian. A Romanian police officer was also available to assist with enquiries. The group were offered housing assistance by Ashford Place, but declined this offer before being escorted out of the park. All tents were taken and removed by Veolia and associated rubbish and debris cleared.

After this, the Police visited Gladstone Park and found no tents or structures present. There is evidence that they may have moved on to Fryent Country Park and Welsh Harp though where two encampments, rough sleepers and tents were removed.

The current plan is to organise similar operations in October for consecutive nights if necessary.
